What about the Apple Airpods Max Pros? Apparently they make a custom frequency molded for your ear type. It's basically room correction eq but for your ears.
IME the Max Pro did not cut it for Axe use latency wise, when I tried using the only wired option, Lightning to 1/8” …..but if @Admin M@ is an advocate, might have to revisit…….What about the Apple Airpods Max Pros?

I ONLY use them wired. Never Bluetooth.IME the Max Pro did not cut it for Axe use latency wise, when I tried using the only wired option, Lightning to 1/8” …..but if @Admin M@ is an advocate, might have to revisit…….
I may have tried with a third party cord..I just ordered the official Apple one …I ONLY use them wired. Never Bluetooth.
I wanted as flat as I could get and the frequency response chart for my pair is definitely that.Curious why people went with the S5X over the S4X. It sounds like the S5X are better suited for binaural/immersive/Atmos type work, no?
The SX5 are open back. My Sennheiser are open back. My Beyerdynamic are closed back. I have to use compensating curves to rein in the Sennheiser and Beyerdynamic. I’d say I have a pretty good collection for triangulating the sound I want.One thing to always consider about 'flat' sounding headphones is that the manufacturers design not flattened highs per se for a good reason. A closed headphone makes it's own micro environment around the ear with it's own air pressure. That has consequences for the reception of the highs. Try an opened or half opened headphone and feel how that is an all different animal.
Another thing is that everybody has different unique ear cups with different angles. That matters when the sound is coming from a central spot instead of coming straight directional in a free field.
I could go on but...
All that means there is no guarantee for a flat response for everyone. It has to fit for one personally like when buying clothes.
Adding an eq curve can help some, but it also means you judge the headphone manufacturer to be unable or unwilling to make a better product. What if they took other factors into consideration?
You notice if a headphones gives a true and fair picture when you compare it to other stuff.

No. Lightning to 3.5mm female, then 3.5mm male to lightning.They should plug right into an iPhone 14 via lightning cable no?
Have you tried these yet?
Are you still happy with these headphones? I've got HD650 phones that I'm not thrilled with.I have to use headphones at home, it's a domestic peace thing, but once I'm set up and am doing sound check then I do the final adjustments, and, with careful use of the headphones and compensating curves, I've been really happy with my results.
I just switched to the Ollo SX5 headphones, which are extremely flat, so I'm looking forward to re-EQing my presets to see how they do with these.
It's always an adventure.
Still? I only got them yesterday, but so far I like them very much. I got the Ollo S5X because they are very flat and they pair the drivers, and give us the response curve for that particular set so I can build a compensation curve for them if I want. When I saw the chart I decided it was flat enough that I could live with it without fiddling around. That’s one less thing that I need to worry about.Are you still happy with these headphones?

The Sennheisers are very good too, but for building presets I use a compensating EQ curve, or an IR, to flatten them further. For regular listening I think they’re fine.
